Chapter 527 Anyone who stops me will be punished by the ten clans!

Wang Shichong knew Rong Fengxiang’s true identity, and Yuan Wen had seen those two sword energies. Naturally, he knew how tough the Empress Dowager was now, but the two of them had a tacit understanding. Da and others only said that the swordsman named Feng Qingyang was a master in escorting the Queen back to Luoyang, but did not say to what extent.

What about Duan Da? With a first-class official residence and the title of Chen Guogong, he is currently the first-class general in Luoyang. Facing Li Mi's continuous eastward march, the court is in a critical period of employment. Is it possible that Xiao Meiniang wants to hold Chai Shen accountable?

What's more, Xiao Meiniang is a member of the female generation, Yang Tong's seven-year-old child, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is an orphan and a widowed mother. She has a broken brain and dares to offend their group of civil servants and generals who control the government? She is so beautiful and newly widowed, so she is not afraid of angering them and turning this Ziwei City into a back garden for sleeping?

"Wang Shangshu." Xiao Meiniang turned to Wang Shichong: "Did you tell Duan Da about Jiangdu?"

Wang Shichong said in a low voice: "Yes, that day while drinking under the roof, General Duan asked about Jiangdu, and I recounted what happened that day."

"Since you were present that day, did you ever stop Yu? Culture and regicide?"

"I have taken action, and Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are the people I brought to protect the emperor."

"That is to say, you have the intention to protect him. The act of protecting the emperor was incompetent and failed to save the emperor’s life?”

“I deserve to die”

Wang Shichong, a cunning old man, fell to his knees with a thud: "Since this period of time, I have often woken up at midnight, wishing that I could go back to that day and use my life to exchange for the emperor's safety."

Xiao Meiniang said expressionlessly: "On the way Chai Shao escorted me to Luoyang, he once said that the late emperor died in his arms. Since you were at the scene that day, is this true?"

"Yes."

"In other words, Chai Shao was the first person to step forward to support His Majesty after he was injured?"

"Yes."

"Then does he have the intention to protect you, but he is unable to protect him?"

"Yes."

Xiao Meiniang stood up and said: "In other words, the Chai family father and son and Wang Did Shangshu have the same mood at that time?"

Wang Shichong complimented: "The Empress Dowager Mingjian"

"Wang Shangshu, let me ask you again, on the day of Yu Wenhua's rebellion, his brother. Yuwen Zhiji died in Guiyan Hall. Was he killed by your son? ”

Wang Shichong observed the words for a while and shook his head: "No."

"You are very honest."

Xiao Meiniang said lightly: "Chai Shao told me that Yu Wen Zhiji died at the hands of Chai Shen. "

The seven nobles were in an uproar and looked at Chai Shen.

"Chai Aiqing, tell me, was Yuwen Zhiji killed by you?"

"What the Empress Dowager said was indeed the work of a minor minister. The situation at that time was extremely chaotic. When I saw Yu Wenzhi and his men killing the harem, I hid in Guiyan Hall and launched a sneak attack, killing him in the palm of my hand."

Chai Shen has been an official for so many years, how could he be an honest person? When he saw someone coming to support him, he naturally "told the truth".

At that time, Martial Lord Bixuan killed everyone in Guiyan Hall in one confrontation. If he said that Yuwen Zhiji was killed by himself, as long as the Grand Master did not come forward to expose it, the credit would be his.

Judging from Bi Xuan's willingness to rescue him, he probably won't bother to cause trouble.

Xiao Meiniang's face became colder and colder: "Chai Aiqing ambushed Yu Wenzhi just in time. Chai Shao rescued me from Yu Wenhuaji's confidants and escorted me all the way to the west. On the way, he not only had to face Yu Wenzhi's Pursuing and killing, we also had to guard against the rogue bandits and road bullies with evil intentions. After going through all kinds of difficulties, we were able to safely send this palace to Luoyang with the help of Senior Feng. What credit do you have for Bill and others?"

When Yuan Wendu, Huangfu Wuyi and others heard this, they quickly stood up from their seats and crawled to the ground.

Yuan Wendu said: "Master Chai and his son are really brave and loyal, and they are rare capable ministers."

"Yes, Master Chai's loyalty and bravery are indeed a role model for us and all ministers. ."

Lu Chu and Zhao Changwen were also generous in their praise and flattery.

Chu Pingsheng looked at His Highness a few times and resisted the urge to roll his eyes. This group of wallflowers will fall wherever the wind blows.

Only Duan Da remained silent, squinting at Huangfu Wuyi and Guo Wenyi, scaring them so much that they dared not speak.

“Hmph.”

Xiao Meiniang snorted coldly and looked at her seven-year-old grandson: “Did Chai Aiqing object when the emperor ascended the throne?”

Yang Tong Shrinking his head and hanging his head: "No."

"Since there is no such thing, the emperor demoted Chai Shen and reduced his rank because of Duan Da's one-sided words. Is this...should it?"

Yang Tong pointed at the seven His Highnesses and hesitated: "The Empress Dowager, it's them... they... made me... me..."

"Them?"

Xiao Meiniang stopped here and paused for a few breaths before saying: "You believe whatever they say? Why don't you listen to Chai Aiqing's defense?" "This..."

Yang Tong I cried loudly, pointed at Wang Shichong and others and said: "They said this, Changsong also said this, and Grandma Qi also said this. If I don't obey them... they will ignore me."

"Who is Changsong? Who is Aunt Qi?"

Chai Shen sighed in his heart. A seven-year-old child emperor is lonely and helpless. Just imagine if the maids and eunuchs around him let him do it. If he doesn't do something, he will be violent. Can he not do it? Do you dare not to do it?

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice came into Chai Shen's ear. He looked around and found that Wang Shichong and others were unaware. When he met the eyes of Senior Feng, Chai Shen understood.

“For the Empress Dowager, Changsong is the prisoner of the internal visitors, and Aunt Qi is your majesty’s wet nurse.”

Yang Tong is seven years old and Yang You is six years old. At such an age, one of them is left behind. In Chang'an, one stayed in Luoyang. The reason is actually simple. King Yang Jian of Qi always regarded his three nephews as enemies and often practiced witchcraft and curses. Yang Guang did not want to see the scene of his uncle and nephew killing each other, so he only sent his second son to him. Yang Jian and his eldest grandson Yang Tan took them with them, leaving one Yang You and Yang Tong in the western capital Chang'an and the other in the eastern capital Luoyang. This was done to deal with family conflicts and was also a strategic consideration.

"After the emperor issued the edict, I went to the palace to ask for an audience. However, the eunuch on duty was very persuasive and I waited for three hours. Even at sunset, I still didn't see your majesty. After three times of this, I could only give up the idea of meeting the emperor. "

Xiao Meiniang asked Yang Tong again: "Is this possible?"

The little emperor shook his head like a rattle: "I have never heard of it."

Chu Pingsheng was cold. With a smile, he interjected: "The Changqiu prison officials bullied your majesty when he was young and deceived the saints. It seems that we need to investigate carefully."

Who would have thought that Duan Da suddenly stood up, pointed at him and said: "This is In the affairs of the Sui Dynasty, you are neither an official nor a noble, so there is no place for you to give advice.”

Wang Shichong and Yuan Wen both looked at each other and felt relieved, thinking that this matter... was finally shocking.

Chu Pingsheng ignored him and continued: "Looking at this matter, the emperor is young and not deeply involved in the world, so he can easily be deceived by evil villains. At this time, it is better for the Empress Dowager to listen to politics behind the curtain. I will assist the emperor in handling government affairs and take care of him until he is older."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Wang Shichong, Yuan Wendu and the other seven people changed.

What is their purpose in supporting Yang Tong? Isn't it just because he is young and easy to manipulate? Now that Xiao Meiniang is back, the first thing she does is seize power.

Duan Da suddenly became angry, pointed at Chu Pingsheng and said: "I think you are a treacherous villain if you stir up trouble in front of the Empress Dowager. When the late emperor left Luoyang, he asked me, Wang Shangshu and others to assist... …”

He was only halfway saying this when he saw the old man with the long beard moving. He didn't even see clearly how the sword fell from the scabbard on his back to his hand. Duan Da felt a chill in his heart. He looked down and saw that the purple beard was actually divided into two parts. Second, the lower part is like flying snow flakes, falling to the ground.

Crack.

The blood fell to the ground drop by drop.

Civil officials like Zhao Wenchang and Guo Wenyi looked at him with horrified eyes.

"In troubled times, heavy codes should be used. Since General Chai, Wang Shangshu and others are here, I don't think there is any need to interrogate people. The Duan family should punish the ten clans. I wonder what the Empress Dowager and the Emperor want?"

Duan Dajiu felt that his eyelids were extremely heavy and he forced himself to look up. Xiao Meiniang had already hugged Yang Tong into her arms and said with force, "What Mr. Feng said is true. I wonder what your beloved ladies think?"

"Ten...ten tribes? What are the ten tribes?" Zhao Wenchang asked with sweat on his temples.

Chu Pingsheng said: "In addition to the nine tribes, plus the students under the sect, they are called the ten tribes."

How cruel.

Too cruel!

Zhao Wenchang, Guo Wenyi, Huangfu Wuyi and others looked at Chu as if they were looking at wild beasts.

It was only then that Duan Da's body was split into two, his intestines flowed all over the floor, and his upper body squirmed on the ground for a moment, staring at the magnificent array of ceilings on the top of the palace.

Until his death, he never understood why there was such a master beside the queen. This man was so powerful. Where was Yang Guang when he was killed? If he had taken action at that time, how could Yu Wenhuaji have killed the king?

How did he know that the regicide was not Yu Wenhuaji, but the guy who had a beard with him in front of him? Yu Wenhuaji was just a poor scapegoat.

"I'm exhausted. Let General Chai and a few adults take care of the rest."

Xiao Meiniang dropped these words, picked up Yang Tong and walked back.

Although she has been practicing dual cultivation with Chu Pingsheng these days and has made rapid progress, it is still difficult for her to accept killing people on the spot, let alone in front of children.

Clang...

The sword slowly returned to its sheath, whispering endlessly.

Duan Da's blood is still flowing.

Chai Shen bowed to say goodbye: "Farewell to the Empress Dowager."

Only then did the six people next to her react and also send them off.

"Wang Shangshu, General Wang, and Chai used to move around the East Palace a lot. They are quite familiar with the affairs in Ziwei City. How about entrusting Changqiu Supervisor to arrest Changsong and his gang members?"
